Thank you. I advertised it here solely thinking it should go to someone who would really appreciate it but have only had one response. That's a poor showing from the most ardent group of Pontiac fans but no one will ever say I didn't try when it appears at auction. Since I have no need to sell it, a few months here is no big deal and I appreciate you giving it a bump.
Road manners are what you would expect in this car- great going straight at reasonable speeds. I have driven many, many different old cars and have a number of them. It's not as heavy as an olds 442 and doesn't track like a mustang. That said, it's so much fun to drive because it was built to be driven hard and it never complains. Engines today are so much more efficient and powerful than the 326, yet you cannot wipe the smile off my face every time I mat it and row through the gears. It's simply unparalleled.
Most people have never seen one and wonder what it is. Most mistake it for a 64. Only the real old-timers know. It's an absolute time capsule that I hope someone loves the way I do.
After reminiscing, I will be driving it today!
